To Do

Today I made myself a schedule of household chores. I wrote down everything that I want to do, and then decided how often I wanted to do them. Then I took my planner, and wrote all the chores down, trying to spread them out in such a way that I would not get overwhelmed next time I open my planner. I feel good about it, though I know I will not be able to do all of it immediately.

I also put as a goal that I want to learn German (basics, anyway) within the next couple months, that way when my baby is due, I will have less trouble talking to the nursing staff and my doctor. I realized while I was studying for my certification exam that the only way I will get things like this done when I am wanting to is if I set a schedule and stick to it (despite that schedules never work any other time for me). So I also took some time, looked at how my beginner's German book is set up, and wrote down my goals of when to have each chapter done.

Now, I am feeling rather good about myself in that I am starting to take control of how and when things are happening. I also feel like I am finally getting the swing of things, which is a relief!
